Floating Pictures of Tobacco Leaves
The light of a late summer evening. Everything flows together in slow motion. Curdled whey on the calves' lips within. Soon silky and iridescent like blossoms shimmering. Roots of white chocolate leaves upward flowing, soon warmer and softer vanilla trails of ambergris. The down on the backs of young cloven-hoofed animals. Becomes spicy tobacco, the skin beneath, tanned by time into velvety leathers. Chestnut-brown maduro leaves with crystals of muscovado sugars, decaying into resins of Guinean woods. Withered into mulch and earth soon again.

The relatively young Pinoy Sirun brand produces natural fragrances, mostly based on musk, oud, ambergris, civet, and flowers, which are handmade and mainly produced in small batches. As is often the case with small artisan brands of this kind, this is probably due to the prices and availability of rare and high-quality raw materials.
The materials for “Purple Tabac Chypre Ghalia” seemed particularly rare, as only four bottles were produced. The result is astonishingly warm, round, deep, and multi-layered. For a few fleeting moments, there are initially slightly cheesy barnyard aromas, presumably from the Sri Lankan oud in the base, which are quickly replaced by the earthy, brightly shimmering iris root. The iris blossoms, in turn, show their lovely side, with hints of white chocolate, and soon blur into a warm, animalic accord of Tibetan and Tonkin musk and vanilla-tobacco-like ambergris, which soon reveal various nuances of spicy-dark, complex, and slightly sweet tobacco varieties. The Papua oud is warm and woody in the base, while the Sri Lankan oud is earthy, spicy, and resinous-sweet, so that the tobacco gradually fades into a lovely earthy and mulchy-spicy finish. A special gem in the truest sense of the word.
